Veterans Day Ceremony

Edwin Perley - 11/17/2020

Veterans Day was observed at the Yutan High School last Wednesday on November 11. Because of the Covid 19 epidemic, the ceremony was limited. Fifteen veterans took part and the there were about 50 spectators, mostly high school students. Hank Sauer delivered the message. He reminded us that 22 veterans commit suicide every day and the suicide rate for students is 17 per day. He urged all of us to be alert and find help for people who seem to be having troubles.
